Liking the opposite place... (Journal Entry)

So Carolyn (another OneStory team member in the capitol city), Robin and I had a good conversation today. I shared my frustration with the city, and how I loved the village so much. Robin shared how she was more content in the city and how villagel life was a struggle. We talked about how it's hard when one person enjoys something so much, the other person feels guilty becuase they don't enjoy it as much. We talked about how it's probably good that we both enjoy the opposite places because then our "joy" of that place can carry the other one through it, even if they don't fully enjoy it. If we both hated the city, or both hated the village- we might not be able to survive in that place!! It was good to talk about our feelings and learn that we feel the same way just in the opposite places.
